Why it matters: Although not foolproof, password managers are one of the most secure ways to generate, store, and use passwords. However, switching between them can be tedious and, in some cases, open users to security risks. A new feature for Android devices simplifies the process while removing a crucial vulnerability.
Android users can now transfer passwords and passkeys between password managers via a new procedure managed by the operating system. The feature already supports most major password managers on Android 8 or later, with more to follow.
To start, download the password manager you intend to transfer your information to. Then, choose the option to import or copy data from another manager. Android will automatically detect other installed password managers and display which ones support the transfer. After tapping "Continue," you can review the information being moved before authorizing the transfer.
